Color Kit Information
Color Kit
The optional Color Kit which includes a color print cartridge and a print
cartridge storage container, provides color output printing capability from
an HP DeskWriter 600 printer. The printer comes from the factory as color
capable, it does not require any modifications. Color features, however,
need to be turned on in the HP DeskWriter printer driver. For more
information, refer to the HP DeskWriter 600 printer user documentation or
the documentation included with the color kit.
Notes The print cartridge storage container will hold one black or
one color print cartridge. To obtain maximum print quality and
print cartridge life, always store the open print cartridge that is
not in the printer in the print cartridge storage container.
When printing a color page with the color print cartridge, you
cannot print true black. The printer will print composite black,
made up of cyan, magenta, and yellow inks.

Interface Specifications
The DeskWriter 600 Printer has an 8-pin mini-DIN interface connector port.
This connector port is compatible with RS-422-A serial, AppleTalk, and

automatically determines if it is connected to an AppleTalk network or
directly to a Macintosh printer port.

Product Performance Specifications
The HP DeskWriter 600 prints a 600x300 dot size. Dots are placed on a
600x300 grid. Depletion is used to remove approximately 10% of the dots
to prevent laying too much ink on the page.
In the Best mode, the paper advances at 600 DPI increments and places
dots on a true 600x600 grid. Depletion in the Best mode removes
approximately 43% of the dots.
Resolution determinations are made in the Macintosh and sent to the
printer.

EconoFast Mode Normal Mode Best Mode
Black Print Speed 14 pages per minute 2.5 pages per minute 1 page per minute
